Philippine Gay Slang

From a highly entertaining essay on Philippine gay slang:
The 1970s gay icon, Lindsay Wagner as the Bionic Woman, also gets a place of honor in Philippine gay lingo. Miss Wagner mesmerized Filipino gay men with her slow-motion way of running, and her bangs that flipped from one side of her head to the other. Now, “Bionic Woman” means “magbayo,” or to masturbate. A sample sentence is: I did a Bionic Woman last night because I am afraid of Tita Aida [AIDS].” A synonym for this would be “Biogesic,” which is an analgesic and antipyretic drug.
“Ahas” means “snake” in Tagalog. The root word for this is “anaconda.” A sample sentence is: “You are so anaconda. You stole my jowa (boyfriend).” Synonyms for this would be “serpentina” and “Medusa.” To have pointed lips implies somebody who loves to sow intrigues. It also gave rise to the query: “Why do gays have pointed lips?” The answer, supposedly, is “Because they have a phallic pout. Their lips are already molded outward.”
